Ohio Gameday...

[FrancoPizza]

The safety play has been atrocious.

Maybe Duce should be back at corner and not auditioning for the NFL

 

[Frozen]

Expected a better lid from Fran

Agreed. It looks less than Dart-ish.

 

[Yeti]

Was hoping to see some Yasin Willis .

Bench Barron (I don’t actually know who would be next up?)

Receivers and McCord have been great.

Oline isn’t great (surprise Kyle!)

 

[Sudano]

Stack the box make them pass

We really don't even need to stack the box, just bring extra guy to weak side, shoot gaps and tackle!

 

[Toga]

Willis alert

 

[bigmike]

Then when we got the ball back down 3 he would've ran because he was so scared to turn it over. If we score we pummel the ball into the ground and beat a crap team by a little bit and then we start to talk about "not seeing the entire playbook" while it's the same crap we ran 6 years ago when it didn't work.

RE: OC Nixon

Really liking the look of the passing game although would like to see the running game come together in the 2nd half.

 

[DomeStranger]

Praying for Zeed and LA. Hope their injuries aren’t serious.

I still can't believe how poorly Ohio executed that last drive. They had first and goal on the 3 yard line. If they had run the ball north/south they would have either a) scored a TD, or b) run enough clock where we probably wouldn't have been able to put that drive together. Those repeated rollouts to the right for them were just a disaster.

Did the Ohio coach turn into Dino?

 

[hoopsupstate]

To finish the half with that drive is impressive. First game execution was great. You don’t usually see that early in the season. Run defense and some tackling issues were disappointing.

Right up there with Pete Carroll's Super Bowl pass when Lynch was crushing them.

Need to score on our 1st drive of 2 nd half and mske Ohio chase the game.

Man I missed being here

Hak in the house! Great to meet llandz too!

Half-time post. Run defense was awful in the first quarter, better in the 2nd. But we are not tackling well at the 2nd and 3rd levels. So many missed tackles. I'm a bit surprised by that, to be honest.

McCord and the offense had a great 2nd quarter, and now we get the ball to start the 2nd half. Let's drive it down the field and add another 7 points. Up 24-9, that would help the defense manage the game by making Ohio throw it a bit more.

Remember we’re going vanilla. No need to pull out anything special, even though these officials are showing their allegiance. We’ll still win. A TD on this drive and the will have to pass. That will result in sacks and turnovers for them

Pretty sure LA was out there for that last play

 

[texascpa]

Hot Take: Other than a couple times when McCord couldn't find a receiver, the Oline pass blocking has been very good.

 

[tbonezone]

so i'm scrolling thru the ACC halftime scores and i see UC Davis vs California and Houston Christian vs SMU. talk about a crazy meth head spider bite cobb salad kinda affiliation .

 

[IthacaMatt]

Man I missed being here

Great noise and a really solid crowd. Very pleased.
I thought the guys wearing blue suits and orange ties to the Quad walk was very classy. Loved it!

It was groundhog day every game haha. I feel like a new man today.

 

[Eric15]

Captain Obvious here but this first drive is very important. This game is FAR from over despite how good we are all feeling right now.
